Hello Community,

I am new to VanillaForums and just loving it.
Trying to setup the forum at my website http://loancalculators.in/qa . So far so good and everything looks fine here.

But, when I checked the Google Index and searching for query site:http://loancalculators.in/qa, I find that already more than 200 pages are indexed in the Google index, without any actual user activity.

This is not at all good for SEO. It is a sure-shot way to attract Google Panda penalty, which suggests you to reduce the number of low-quality pages on your domain. And after installing VanillaForums, I am finding that most of these pages are low-quality Profile pages.

First thing I want to do is to do is to add < META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" > to the header of the profile pages.

Don't know how to do that. looks like I need to edit class.headmodule.php in /applications/dashboard/modules directly. But after messing around for more than two hours, I am not able to find the clue.

Feeling like stupid.

Kindly help me out.

Thanks,

    Just saw the light.

    Thinking of adding the following to the robots.txt in the root folder of the domain.

    Disallow: /index.php?p=/profile/

    Disallow: /index.php?p=/dashboard/

    Will that be alright?
